So currently I’m listening to this mighty record:

Thanks to Wikipedia for publishing the .png with the least artifacts in it.

There’s quite a bit of it that kicks ass.  This the record of theirs that I enjoy the most.  It’s the only one I play with any regularity, though (I have three).  And I rarely listen to the entire record; five songs, maybe six.

Why isn’t this band ruling the world?  Their ability to put together a riff/song/concept album/any other thing they’d like to do is not in question.  I think their musicianship is hard to match.  No One Knows is a 4 minute full-on rampage.  So why are they not ruling the world of rock and roll?

Thoughts?
